I really like the simplicity of this advice:

Thinking back to my son's early college years and a few times when he didn't have his best outings on the mound, a very simple and brief "Hang in there. You can do this." seems very appropriate. Now let's talk about the homerun your teammate hit, or what a cool ballpark this is, or even which class you're enjoying most this semester.
